@reedmideke @ErrolNZ reminded of a story about a little old lady who was on an overnight flight in a storm and asked how the pilot knew where he was going. The flight attendant said do you see that red light out that window, and the green light out that window? As long as the Pilot keeps us […]

Literally last week every MAGA idiot around was insisting, loudly, how terrible it was that the Biden admin pressured YouTube to remove COVID misinfo, even as YouTube said it ignored the pressure. Those same folks will either be silent or cheer this on:

Alt text: Screenshot of a Fox News Digital article reporting that Apple removed the ICEBlock tracking app from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised safety concerns. The article states DOJ officials, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, asked Apple to take down the app, claiming it endangered law enforcement officers and shielded illegal immigrants. Bondi confirmed the removal in a statement, saying ICEBlock put ICE agents at risk and emphasized DOJ’s commitment to protecting federal officers.

A four-year-old mystery finally solved: who was the awkwardly tall stranger at our wedding? “Who was the tall man in a dark suit, distinguished by the look of quiet mortification on his face?” Love the reason he was there. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/sep/12/wedding-crasher-mystery-solved-four-years-bride-scotland

A variation of the "distracted boyfriend" meme. In this version, everyone is in wearing togas, and the boyfriend has been turned to stone as he looks back at a passing Medusa.
